Avoid Niagara on the lake. Yes it looks charming. It is not what it use to be. I lived there for 8 years. No sense of community too crowded with day tourist.
Collingwood is beautiful in the summer. Lots of snow ❄ in winter. I live a short drive from there. Beautiful place...I prefer Niagara on the Lake...gorgeous. There are so many cute & cozy towns in Ontario.Quebec is gorgeous simply gorgeous. Great video and info.
You should have stipulated that these are all towns in Southern Ontario. Viewers looking for beautiful Ontario towns should know it’s a big province that doesn’t stop near the GTA.
@241jojoromi. That's right. How about Northwestern Ontario? All up and down # 11 and 17 hi-ways. Lots of beautiful towns starting at the Manitoba border with Kenora and all the way to North Bay on both hi-ways. So, before you say top 7 to live in, you'd better look at the forgotten part of the province.
I lived in Ontario for 40 years prior to being transferred by my employer. Sorry, but you really missed the beautiful places in rural Ontario. I could name so many I doubt there is room here, How about all those beautiful towns along the shores of lake Huron. Lets look at Georgian Bay area. Kawartha area is another one. The so called tows you talk about are Cities not Towns by definition. Please do your research before publishing a video like this.
It's generally pretty easy to dismiss everything east of Hamilton as just; "oh yeah, I've been to Niagara falls." Meanwhile there's St. Catherines, Welland, and even Port Colborne to experience. Even born and raised in Ontario, it's sometimes difficult even for me to comprehend just how many interesting points of civilization there are, dotting and connecting the Province.
This is spoken like someone who doesn't have a clue about Ontario. So you mentioned toronto suburbs and the two vacation spots...welcome to ontario 101.
Love it when I go to Ancaster, all the locals drive 30 kph, everywhere. Any town around the Kitchener area is better than most on this list. Cambridge is nice if you want to live in a higher populated area farther away from the crime that the Toronto to Hamilton area has. 5 of your choices are good if you want to put 50k on your car every year and small medical centers are suppose to be quicker than the large Hospitals
My mom lives in Niagara on the lake it’s very nice but very busy in summer and you have to drive to st Catherines for groceries no franchise are allowed 3:38
Except for number 4:, Port Hope which is a polluted, small, old industrial town with much-contaminated lands, buildings and a strong, unpleasant smell from the factory at certain weekday times.
really should have titled the video ,,,, *10 best small towns in southern ontario* you southern ontarians always forget there is a part of Ontario that is actually the largest part of the province, which covers more than 800,000 square kilometres (310,000 square miles). (southern ontario, Area: 114,217 km squared KM )
And then you realized how good it was when you left. Canada WAS the best country, now it's a dumping ground for the people that want to grape the taxpayer.
Richmond hill is a driving disaster. Move there if you like gridlock. A construction hell hole. This place is the last place in ontario i would move to.
Thank you for your practical info! What is the closest town to Niagara On The Lake on the United States side? I saw that you are from Ukraine, and i just met a girl from your country, and would like to have further communication with you. According to my research, Ukrainian immigration to Canada began in the 19th Century, and at present there's more than a million Ukrainian living in Canada. I suppose you know there are some non-profit Ukrainian organizations that assist newcommers from Ukraine. Do you know one or or more of them?
Apparently people from India like coming here because we have good education and a quiet life . Lots of high paying jobs . Brampton and Mississauga are becoming too crowded and expensive and high crime . Elora Ontario is a real hidden Gem .
Well done ! I'm in agreement about all your choices except #2 . There are other ones outside of the lake Ontario basin that are great too.. Thanks Brian 81
Thanks Brian for your feedback. I know not everyone like town of Richmond Hill but in my opinion it is a very balanced place to live, except the housing cost )
@@LifeInCanada what's your opinion on Windsor? How would you compare it to these? I heard job opportunities are less there Also London because I see Hamilton has a lot of drug addicts i felt
The entirety of Canada will have more drug addicts because the current government thinks that it's just OK to let them shoot up in the street as they don't want to 'offend' them. I grew up here from the age of 7 and if I had the $ I would be so far away from this place it's not funny.@@soulsbourne
I grew up on Line 3 in NOTL.. left at 21 for my career in Western Canada (BC). Greedy developers are destroying this area and the houses are way out of reach for most people. Niagara Falls, St Catherine’s, St David’s and Queenston nearby. Factories are all gone and a lot of crime and homeless people in NF and St Catherine’s. Remember being a tourist is totally different than living in the area !
You pronounce "live" and "leave", so I agree that Niagara Falls and Richmond Hill and most of those places are the best places to leave. Was in Niagara Falls few times. It is an ok place to visit, a nice place to retire if you have lots of money to buy a decent house there (which most of Canadians do not!), but in all other cases: avoid, avoid, avoid.
These are hardly the seven best places to live in Ontario. The seven best places in the Golden Horseshoe perhaps but, for Pete's sake, the sun does not rise and set on Toronto. Want congestion? Want traffic? Sure, move into the 905 and the areas touching the 905. If you want to live in Ontario, learn something about Ontario.
Do not come to Uxbridge, it's filled with racists. So are all the other small towns in Ontario, and also the rest of Canada. Nothing but racists. Seriously.
Thanks for this video and for your time. I would like to ask you something: Have you ever been in Waterloo? if yes, What do you think about it? (positive and negative points of view)
@@Godisfirst21 Do you know the employment rates for mechanical engineers and for physicists in Waterloo? They're two different economic groups, i want to know about both rates of employment in the city of Waterloo. Thanks in advance
@@javierfernandoagudelogomez1794 You'll have to do your research on that one. I lived and walked around the city. I'm a nutritionist, so I'm not in your line of work. I didn't personally like the vibe there. I didn't find people friendly at all.
Woukd love to do a duel trip where we tick off the typical Newyork 4/5 nights but would all like to put an Ontario or Toronto type of 4/5 nights also, and a dear friend mentioned Georgian bay as a destination, would love to know your advice on which part of Georgian bay for a couple to take in a quintessential Canadian town please?..🙏🏽👍🏼 🇨🇦🇺🇸🏴
very good information but some of those towns are beautiful but they are not much jobs choices/ But for retirament are great. thanks for the information
Niagara is Southern Ontario close to Buffalo . wheres Richmond hills? did you say ottridge? never heard of it? can't understand the 4th town? wheres Port perry ? I know Hamilton near Niagara on the way to Toronto and in the movie Youngblood!!
I drive through Hamilton about 2 times a week. It's a dump unless you go to the upper level.......even so, it's still a stinking, impoverished, steel town.
@@LifeInCanada No. There are real lists compiled by experts with real metrics. Oakville ranks among the highest every year. Average household income, recreation and leisure spaces, schools, employment, hospitals etc. Not just a guy who couldn't buy a proper microphone and made a list and posted it on a video hosting site.
@@hamzasalhi957I think you misunderstood the comment. Troubles from other countries are not welcome here. Many people are coming here to lead a new life, leave those issues behind and bring value with you and you will receive value.
@@RobinAsp77 you did not read my comment correctly. I said nothing racist! I said leave your problems behind, bring your culture. You have to be something wrong with your brain if you did not understand this. Why the hell does anyone want to bring those problems to this country? If they do then stay the hell out! So you are saying that immigrants should bring those problems here? If so then you are 🥜🌰
@@jlightning2178 Wilf Paiment from the Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Rockies is from there. so from my list are there any towns that are on the Northern side of Ontario that are on Toronto's side?
I gave up living in Ontario. All are expensive and beyond my financial capability. Finally, I decided going to Himalayas mountain live in a tiny hut will cost only $750 USD. Lots of fresh oxygen, cheap foods , living with nature and harmony. Good bye Canada, hello Himalaya.
